Open Letter to the Baylor Class of 2020
Baylor University

Move-in day is right around the corner. Sic'em! No matter where you are coming from, you all will find a home here at Baylor.

The very first people you will get to meet are the very friendly move-in crew. They will handle the worst part about moving in, all of your boxes that carry pieces of back home. Whether it's raining or sunny, they will be there to doing all the heavy lifting. According to the weather report, it's supposed to be raining all week. Sic'em!

After you get all set-up in your room, you will meet your roommate (maybe even for the first time!). After your parents are all done helping you get settled in, it's time for them to leave. You thought you were ready to say goodbye, but it's just a little hard to look at them in the eyes. You awkwardly hug it out and say your goodbyes.

But don't worry, you won't be sad for long because Welcome Week is about to start. Welcome Week at Baylor is where you will get to know other people who are new to Baylor. It's time to make some friends. With the guidance of your Welcome Week Leaders, you will get to know the ins and outs of Baylor. You will get to know which dining halls are the best (cough cough Memo), but we can forget Penland for Wing Wednesday. Sic'em!

Next, you will get to know where your classes are. Baylor has a pretty big campus, so if you're not used to walking or sweating a lot, it might be a bit tough at first. But don't fret because Baylor has got that all covered. You will be walking around so much during your first few days here that you will basically have the campus memorized. Sic'em!

That's not the only thing Baylor has prepared for you. During Welcome Week, you will get to know the true spirit of what it means to be a Baylor Bear. We are a community oriented group of people who show southern hospitality like no other. Sic'em! Welcome Week leaders volunteer their time to go through training and to better serve you on your first few days on campus. The move-in crew are also here on campus early to help you guys. We want you guys to know that we are excited to have you here and that we can't wait to get to know you guys.

Oh, and all of the Sic'ems you saw throughout the article..well, they were intentional. You know you have fully become a Baylor Bear when you say "Sic'ems" like you say "yes". You guessed it, you will be saying "Sic'em" all the time.

Now you have the run down of what your first few days at Baylor is going to be like.

Get ready to have fun, and most importantly-

Sic'em Bears!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
